Summary

This is my take on creating a ground station, and it turned out really great.

I simply took the tripod and removed both the video handle and half the camera mount and installed the hardware as shown in the pictures.

The antennas reach a height of about 180cm when the tripod is fully extended.

This antenna has been proven to have an incredibly bad design, resulting in a horrible signal strength. I do not recommend it in any way. I instead recommend investing a bit more into a 5-turn or 7-turn (depending on your usage) helical antenna from VAS, IBCrazy or any other reputable manufacturer.

Hardware:

  • 1x M5x40mm screw. This is substituting the original video filming handle on the tripod. Adjust the tightness to your own preference.
  • 1x M6 hinged stave, at least 500mm long. Don't make it too long as it otherwise won't fit in the included bag for the tripod.
  • 5x M6 nuts.
  • 2x M6 nyloc nuts.
  • 4x M6 washers.
  • 1x M6 spring washer.

That's all you need! Including all the hardware and components it turned out to cost only around 110€ to build this.
